Relationship between hydrocarbons present naturally, or introduced due to surface oil sands mining and upgrading activities, and their potential bioaccumulation and tainting of the commercial fishery

Scientifically robust monitoring protocol to enable consistent assessment of ecological recovery of physical, chemical, and biological indicators at certified reclaimed well pads on grasslands.

This document consists of two tables providing chemical and physical properties of soil, peat, overburden, spent sand and lean tar sand from Syncrude and Suncor.

Nearly 76% of all water used in the basin in 1981 was obtained from the river, 22% from major tributaries and other surface sources, and the remaining 2% from groundwater

Since the determination of the environmental impact of two major pollution sources on precipitation quality was a primary project objective, poor collection efficiencies did not satisfy the objective

Overview of the oil sands, current commercial developments, experimental work, an overview of Fort McMurray and the role of government agencies in development and management of oil sands.

The research needs are set out in two groups – (1) describing existing hydrologic resources and (2) development impact studies. Within these two groups listing is in descending order of priority.

To be realistic we must therefore accept the fact that some pollution will enter the atmosphere. The basic question to be answered is: "How much can reasonably be allowed?"

More emphasis is placed on field programs than on greenhouse studies, because of the nature of the problems involved. However, some topics can only be studied by laboratory methods for several years,

Alberta should regulate and control the Athabasca tar sands development for the socio-economic benefit of Albertans. Rate of development of 1 plant in every 4 years is consistent with present tecnolog
